This would be a huge announcement if it comes in the next week or two. What a great way to get everyone talking about the iPod during the holiday shopping season.
The Beatles albums will sell... but more importantly, they will sell iPods.
It probably won't come before Christmas. Would cut into sales of the Beatles LOVE Songtrack. A MACWORLD accouncement would be about right!

Are we under the assumption that the Lion upgrade will be $29?
I haven't been around for a release past Snow Leopard so I'm not sure what to expect.It'll be $129 — the same as ALL of the past upgrades except for Snow Leopard which was Leopard but just a slimmed-down, rewriting of the OS. Apple felt that without a lot of core new features being added, they would give the public a break and just charge a nominal fee for Snow Leopard, rather than the typical $129.
Don't listen to anyone who says differently. It will be $129.

How. Many. Full. Stops. Do. They. Want. To. Cram. Into. One. Advert? Have they ever heard of the comma? It's this really useful little squiggle that can be used to separate items in a list.

Well a reseller telles me 'what people want' is a 13 inch MBP and this would create something similar but far enough away to justify the price difference.
The MB has not really filled the niche of the 12 inch Powerbook yet.
You can already get a MB with more RAM and larger HDD so what would be the point of that? A 13 inch MBP would make more sense.

....and watching the retail pandaemonium Apple brings with its popular products. Simply amazing.
While admittedly many of its advances are pretty nice, and after playing with one for 15 minutes at MicroCenter, I'm sticking with my generation 1 iPad and waiting until iPad 3 comes out.
I like how the new version is much snappier and how pages in Safari don't have to reload so often (plus no checkerboard). However, for me, I'd have to be pretty impatient to just update for those reasons alone. Every iteration is going to likely improve on these points.
The one thing that really tempts me is form factor. The decrease in width makes a noticeable improvement in handling the device. I didn't think the .2 lbs shaved off would make a difference, but it does. I guess when you're dealing with devices already incredibly light, even a .2 lb difference is notable.
As much as I hate to admit it, the new cover is pretty slick. I look forward to seeing what third parties dream up.
Still, in the end, I'm waiting for iPad 3, which will probably have a higher res screen. Besides a better media experience, it opens doors for app developers due to more real estate. Also, by that time, I will have ditched my Android for an iPhone 5 making the iPad camera and Facetime more useful. 4G may even be an option by then.
For those looking for the iPad 2, good luck. If you have never had an iPad, I think you'll find your efforts worth it. I know people love to throw the term around, but it really is a game changer.

Damn I'm glad I bought a iPad2. I prefer 2D I even will drive a long ways to see a 3D movie when offered in 2D.

Seems weird that a hardware problem is being solved by a software fix? :confused:
How can a firmware update stop a wire shorting the circuit?As has been suggested earlier, by instructing the controller to ignore anomalous input from the sensor, or by kicking in the fans earlier to prevent rapid expansion of the heatsink on startup, or both.

* An unconfirmed forum post claims (http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?t=304580) that the Mac Pro CPUs are swappable.
An Apple sales rep via the Apple Store chat applet answered this same question for me earlier. Keegan's response was:
"Great question! This would definitely not be supported, but it may certainly be possible."
I would interpret that as: This is normal PC hardware for the most part, so sure the procs are replaceable, but don't expect Apple to be in the market of selling you processor upgrades and your warranty is gone if you make any such modifications.

If Boot Camp is supposed to be one of the biggest new features, where is identification of it on the poster?
I see on the Far Left Top corner 'Universal' but not boot camp. I finf this strange.
Does that Universal Logo mean more then just PowerPC+MacIntel? Maybe Mac+PC? 'virtualization'?

Personally I'm getting tired of Apple and their color choices. You have to pay more for black? What if you want 8 GB but you don't want black? What then? I'm not liking the approach Apple is taking on the color choices of their products.
Your not paying a premium for the color, you get 8GB. What sucks is you can't get 8GB in colors, lame move on Apple's part with no reason behind it.

hmmm why 3gigs of ram and not 4?
Do you think it will work with 2 2gig sticks and they just dont support it?
weird.Yes. I think they just didn't want to scare buyers with an extra $1500 of their insane RAM prices.

man i wish 3D would just disappear...
You need an eye patch, in that case ;)
BTW, this rumor is 100% false -- the only thing on an iPad that would really benefit from a 3D display is 3D movies, but I would bet that watching movies on iPad accounts for less than 5% of typical iPad usage, and it'd also mean only one person could watch at a time.
A 3D display for games would not work on iPad because you have to keep moving the thing about -- either for the accelerometers or as you hold it in one hand a swipe away -- and that movement would totally destroy the narrow 3D effect of a glasses-free 3D screen.
3D based on head-tracking would be very interesting, but that definitely doesn't require a new display. In fact, a 3DS style display wouldn't work precisely because you have to keep your head still for the effect to work.

Coverflow has got to be the most visually appealing iTunes upgrade, but the least useful. Multiple libraries and automatic cover art are the two biggest features for me. Next, better Sound control... Does this version of iTunes have gapless playback?

Wait a second. They use a 3rd party wireless card, and he said in the end that "the flaw is not in the Apple operating system as we used 3rd party hardware". I'd say that's quite different from the impression I got from reading the macrumors headline here. A default MacBook using the built in Airport isn't vulnerable as far as I can tell.
Yeah, I'm curious about that too. I have to admit, I didn't even know you could use a third party wireless card with a Mac. It does seem kind of misleading, cause I just can't imagine how many people are even out there with MacBooks that are using this third party wireless card.
Is this at least a driver that is built into OS X anyway, or is it something you would also have to install along with the third party wireless card?
It does seem pretty misleading to me, because I think the way this story is being presented is that Apple is basically shipping MacBooks that could be exploited right out of the box, and that doesn't sound like it's actually the case.
